The Oxford shoegaze legends bring their Here And Now tour to Dublin, part of a run that also marks 34 years since their legendary Brixton Academy show.
Ride play the National Stadium, Dublin on Wednesday February 10th 2027, as part of their newly announced Here And Now tour.
The Oxford four-piece, Andy Bell, Mark Gardener, Steve Queralt and Laurence “Loz” Colbert, helped codify shoegaze from their 1988 formation onward, releasing genre-defining albums like Nowhere and Going Blank Again before splitting in 1996 and reforming in 2014.
Since then they’ve released three further albums, most recently 2024’s Interplay, and toured extensively, including festival slots at Coachella, Primavera and Field Day.
The Here And Now tour opens in Bournemouth on February 12th and takes in London, Birmingham and Manchester before closing at Glasgow’s Barrowland on February 19th, with the band’s Brixton Academy date landing 34 years after their show there was filmed for the 1992 live concert film Ride: Live at Brixton Academy.
